This Nutella banana bread is really moist and fluffy and can be eaten at any time of the day. The sweetness and softness of the bananas are perfectly combined with the rich chocolatey flavour of Nutella. A heavenly combo that is impossible to resist!
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9" x 5" loaf pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mash the bananas with a fork and add the sugar, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix well until combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Pour the banana mixture into the flour mixture, and stir until combined.
Transfer half of the batter to the prepared pan. Using a spoon, add dollops of Nutella on top of the batter, and gently swirl the batter with a knife to form ribbons of Nutella.
Pour the other half of the batter on top. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top of the bread has browned and a pick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool the bread in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Then transfer the bread from the pan to a wire rack to cool completely.
